FedSoc ForumsAI Training vs. Copyright Law: Updates from the Copyright Office and the CourtsWhether AI training and generation is a fair use under copyright law puts two important American business sectors in opposition, and each looks to the various branches of the federal government for answers. Fundamentally, essentially all training of AI models involves copying of copyrighted materials, and many outputs from AI systems also may be substantially similar to copyrighted material and thus infringing if they are not fair uses.On May 9, 2025, the U.S. Copyright Office released a pre-publication version of the third and final part of its report on Copyright and AI, focused on Generative AI Training.

Autocrat- A Roman History PodcastBonus XIII- The Chromosome Count of Mythical Creatures (feat. Biopedia)Here at Autocrat, we quite often cover a lot of mythical beasts. Examples would include the Lernaean Hydra which Heracles and Iolaus dealt with, the sphinx tormenting Thebes, and the sea monster Cetus which Perseus rescued Andromeda from.However, how possible would some of these creatures really be? Take, for example, the griffin and the hippogriff. We know what species create these two, so could we see whether the number of chromosomes they have make them feasible?Well, on today's episode, we re-release episode 67 of Biopedia to answer this very question!2025-06-0105 min
bubblewrap泡泡纸039. 谁在凝视谁？从Anna Uddenberg的自我物化到“眯眯眼”争议本期《bubblewrap 泡泡纸》，我们聚焦一个最近在中文社交媒体上引发热议的展览事件：瑞典艺术家 Anna Uddenberg 在上海油罐艺术中心的亚洲首展《超级经济舱》。从开幕当天引发争议的装置表演，到艺术家一贯围绕“自我物化”与“女性身体商品化”的创作脉络，再到跨文化展演中可能触及的观看门槛与种族敏感性，我们试图以更宽阔的维度梳理此次事件所牵动的诸多问题，以及关于观看、再现、与文化误读的反思。艺术家介绍：在消费主义文化的循环反馈中，安娜·乌登伯格深入探讨了身体文化、灵性与自我呈现如何与新技术对个体身份的塑造及形式的传播相互交织。她的创作不仅融入了性别视角，还作为一个反思品味、阶级、文化挪用与暗示的空间，将这些问题推向新的物质领域。乌登伯格的作品持续关注消费文化中的女性身份，并通过雕塑和表演等视觉平台，探索表演性的边界。在她最新的抽象与具象作品中，汽车骨架结构和其他功能性结构的运用，隐喻了“舒适区”的概念以及建筑作为代理的角色。这种“家具化”的美学风格源于对日常物品与材料的多次重组，使它们彼此之间形成一种全新的对话关系。

Bedell Frazier Investment CounsellingAmazon is EverywhereThe American Consumer keeps proving, time and again, it has some serious resiliency.

Nearly $100 Billion was spent in the whole month of November. But people still hit the stores, including...2023-12-0208 min

Professor Meredith Greif joins us to discuss her research and new book, Collateral Damages: Landlords and the Urban Housing Crisis, which explores how penalties levied against landlords can lead to stricter screening, harassment, and informal eviction of renters who may already struggle to find adequate housing. Far from proposing that we do away with tenant protections, Greif asks us to consider the trade-offs inherent in many policy decisions. Before we can come up with better solutions, we first need to grapple with...2022-10-051h 00
